Dr. Theo Wolmarans

Founder & Senior Pastor · Christian Family Church International

Christian Family Church International Johannesburg, founded in September 1979 by Senior Pastor Dr. Theo Wolmarans and his wife Beverley, is one of the largest churches of its kind in Southern Africa.

As a leading international minister and a member of the board of Dr. David Yongi Cho's Church Growth International, Dr. Theo is a highly sought-after speaker for churches all over the world. He is a gifted teacher who expounds the Word of God with total simplicity and clarity, opening everyone's hearts and minds while also enthralling the audience with his bold, dynamic style.

Through his apostolic calling, he is responsible for the formation of many churches throughout Africa and various parts of the world, including the United States. Drs. Theo and Beverley, along with over 1,300 Christian Family Church associates born from this ministry, have a memorandum of association with John G. Lake's Apostolic Faith Mission of South Africa. This association now has more than 1,400 churches.

Some time ago the Lord led Drs. Theo and Beverley to found another church in America, and after many years of prayer and guidance from the Holy Spirit, Christian Family Church San Antonio was birthed. More than 2000 people call Christian Family Church San Antonio their home church, and the congregation has experienced many signs and wonders through the couple's ministry.

Dr. Theo also oversees the more than 1,300 Christian Family Churches and over 80 Bible Colleges around the world, as well as many missionaries, evangelists, and traveling Bible teachers who have all been birthed from the Christian Family Church network.

Although Drs. Theo and Beverley reside in San Antonio, Texas, they travel to South Africa on a regular basis to oversee the church in Johannesburg.

Dr. Theo believes deeply in spending much time in prayer and God's Word. The most important thing in his life is to know the will of God in all his decisions.
